Pinback is by far one of my favorite bands, this band has been going strong since the mid 90’s. They still have a huge presence in the indie rock scene. Check them out on Spotify! They have all their albums up and ready to listen to.
![The origin of the day (some of us) celebrate annually.
christineandthemachine:
Valentines Day traces its roots to raucous annual Roman festivals where men stripped naked, grabbed goat- or dog-skin whips, and spanked young maidens in hopes of increasing their fertility.
The annual pagan celebration, called Lupercalia, was held every year on February 15 and remained wildly popular well into the fifth century A.D.—at least 150 years after Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire.
Lupercalia was “clearly a very popular thing, even in an environment where the [ancient] Christians are trying to close it down, so there’s reason to think that the Christians might instead have said, OK, we’ll just call this a Christian festival.”
The church pegged the festival to the legend of St. Valentine.
According to the story, in the third century A.D., Roman Emperor Claudius II, seeking to bolster his army, forbade young men to marry. Valentine, it is said, flouted the ban, performing marriages in secret.
For his defiance, Valentine was executed in A.D. 270—on February 14, the story goes.
While it’s not known whether the legend is true, “it may be a convenient explanation for a Christian version of what happened at Lupercalia.”](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lze28oACxD1qzys01o1_500.jpg)

“I want a woman who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don’t already know, and make me laugh. I don’t care what you look like, just turn me on. And if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow. I will nibble your mukluks with my own teeth. I will do your windows. I will care about your feelings. Just have something in there.” - Henry Rollins

Ok….so I had a clothing brand in mind for a long time now, and finally came up with some of the designs I would like my clothes to have. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
The 2013 Winter Classic will feature …
The Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs, who will play at Michigan Stadium (a 100,000 seat venue). Bring your thermal underwear.
Even though the Red Wings are the Yankees of hockey, this game is going to be sick.
